I`ve received numerous postings regarding this topic and its progress via private mail - the topic seems to be interesting to a number of people, maybe we can start bugging Oracle for a native FBSD version ;-) The good news is: You *can* run Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition for Linux under FBSD. All Oracle demons (except one) work. The bad news: You have to do the installation using a native Linux (I`ve done it using SuSE 6.3 following closely the installation guide on their website), transfer the complete /bin /lib /sbin /usr/lib [..] stuff and the oracle installation itself to your BSD box. (All Linux libs under /compat/linux, please) After doing this, you *should* be able to start the oracle instance, create a database and do some simple SQL statements. There`s one major drawback: the listener doesn`t start. So, without it, the whole thing is barely usable but the listener just complains about some missing files and I didn`t try to relink the executable (http://www.scc.nl/~marcel/howto-oracle.html) I`ll give it a try within the next days - the progess so far looks promising.
